Some of the issues overcome by engaging in Edvance workplace programmes:

  • Errors on emails and quotes which have reflected negatively on the professionalism of a company
  • Frustration and time wasting because co-workers were constantly rechecking the invoicing details written by a colleague
  • Workplace errors and accidents with staff not completing accident / incident report forms, resulting in Management being unaware of accidents / incidents which have occurred
  • Apprentices have been unable to understand assignment tasks and have lagged behind in apprenticeship papers
  • Foreman and team leaders displayed aggressive behaviour toward the team
  • The inability of leaders to motivate and lead their team
  • Internally promoted foreman displayed avoidance of paperwork and was unsure of how to get the team working without having to be there with them all the time
  • Internally promoted foreman avoided being with the team, preferring to move away from the team in his office doing paperwork, unable to effectively guide his team
  • Employees from China and Chile struggled to understand workplace language and were unable to read procedure manuals and complete written task sheets
  • Poor paperwork systems and bad spelling from staff sending out what should have been professional looking quotes
  • Supervisors unable to use a computer to complete required internal documents and reports
  • Foremen with no written procedure manuals to assist training and smooth working of their production team
